To Add the CA-Signed Server Certificate and Trusted CA Certificate

You can also use the Directory Server Admin Console to perform this task.

1. Add the CA--signed server certificate using the following command:

   msgcert add-cert cert_alias cert_file

   Where cert_alias is a name which you give to identify your certificate, and cert_file is the text file containing the PKCS #11 certificate in PEM format.

   For example, to install a CA-signed server certificate, you might use a command similar to:

   msgcert add-cert /my_cert/server-cert-file

   The certificate is now installed, but is not yet trusted. To trust the CA-signed server certificate, you must install the Certificate Authority certificate.

2. Add the trusted Certificate Authority certificate using the following command:

   msgcert add-cert -C cert_alias cert_file

   The -C option indicates that the certificate is a trusted Certificate Authority certificate.

   For example, to install a trusted certificate from a Certificate Authority, you might use the command:

   msgcert add-cert -C CA-cert /my_cert/ca-cert-file

3. Optionally, use the following command to verify your installed certificates:

   To list all server certificates, showing information such as alias and validity dates:

   msgcert list-certs

   The Messaging server will have a default certificate called Server-Cert when generated with ./msgcert generate-CertDB . The text Same as issuer indicates that the default certificate is a self-signed server certificate. For example:

   # ./msgcert list-certs Enter the certificate database password: Alias Valid from Expires on Self- Issued by Issued to signed ------------ ---------------- --------------- ------ --------------------- -------------- SelfSignedCrt 2006/07/28 12:58 2006/10/28 12:58 y CN=SFO,L=SC,ST=ca,C=us Same as issuer Server-Cert 2006/07/28 07:47 2006/10/28 07:47 y CN=perseids Same as issuer 2 certificates found

   To list trusted CA certificates:

   msgcert list-certs -C

   To view the details of a certificate, including the certificate expiry date:

   msgcert show-cert cert_alias

   For example, to show a self-signed certificate:

   # ./msgcert show-cert MySelfSigned-Cert Enter the certificate database password: Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: 00:83:35:37:94 Signature Algorithm: PKCS #1 MD5 With RSA Encryption Issuer: "CN=siroe,O=comms,OU=Messaging,L=SantaClara,ST=ca,C=us" Validity: Not Before: Fri Jul 28 19:58:31 2006 Not After : Sat Oct 28 19:58:31 2006 Subject: "CN=siroe,O=comms,OU=Messaging,L=SantaClara,ST=ca,C=us" Subject Public Key Info: Public Key Algorithm: PKCS #1 RSA Encryption RSA Public Key: Modulus: aa:9d:3d:23:b2:59:39:f3:77:c8:69:7f:b0:d1:ac:d2: 4e:81:c8:51:0f:27:6f:a1:21:4b:a9:27:46:d7:0f:b4: c8:44:86:32:5e:4f:2f:1c:2f:a9:b8:a3:49:b5:b8:ab: 51:a8:a5:ba:1c:e8:90:7d:46:67:f9:a7:44:c5:1d:24: e6:bd:e8:8f:07:b4:5a:68:41:b1:19:f2:ea:98:ba:25: 55:b8:ba:9c:af:bb:43:c3:c0:8f:14:a7:4c:2b:50:b4: ac:df:b5:cd:68:de:a6:14:9d:68:77:d3:8b:7f:de:c0: 5d:35:d7:55:8d:b5:c3:14:2a:60:a9:bf:de:96:90:a9 Exponent: 65537 (0x10001) Signature Algorithm: PKCS #1 MD5 With RSA Encryption Signature: 15:86:f1:cc:85:c9:08:0f:ff:d3:56:d8:e2:c8:ea:3c: 8e:45:36:be:8b:b0:7d:2f:e9:cd:e3:b4:ad:8c:70:59: c8:a5:14:da:9c:fa:7f:70:86:64:34:0b:21:ae:c4:28: d2:f5:94:5c:a6:78:0f:d9:fd:fc:c5:5e:37:49:25:a9: bc:12:59:cb:fb:4e:e9:d4:8a:8d:3d:41:12:ae:f1:7f: 8d:d3:10:ac:fb:33:51:5d:0c:1b:dc:23:5f:95:d5:6d: c6:1d:e5:ed:13:8b:16:41:89:5b:4d:de:c0:c7:56:a2: 48:82:38:32:5a:99:d5:21:20:c5:0d:5c:ea:0c:84:aa Fingerprint (MD5): EF:76:A3:6C:09:4E:BC:6B:87:76:A3:35:70:1F:B2:C4 Fingerprint (SHA1): BB:1C:20:4B:79:3A:F1:49:F0:83:FB:CC:9C:56:10:D3:06:97:AA:07 Certificate Trust Flags: SSL Flags: Valid CA Trusted CA User Trusted Client CA Email Flags: User Object Signing Flags: User
